That if you have a latex allergy, you might not want to eat avocados. I can't remember if I've ever actually tried an avocado. I feel like they taste dirty, but maybe I just made that up. I'm sure I must have tried one, I'm usually game for any fruit. I never want to eat one (again), I can't really say why.... but now at least I have a good excuse. I KNOW everyone else loves them. They just don't look like something edible to me, despite their amazing nutritional values :/
I know, source is WebMD..... but I was looking for nutritional value so it seemed ok for that....

Because it was webMD I googled some more and I also learned it's the only fruit we eat from the Laurel family - although we cook with bay leaves and use cinnamon bark and flavor things with sassafras which are also all Laurel spawn. I only knew about the Bay and sassafras -the latter of which I learned in the last few weeks from my friend when we found some out walking. (FTR, I dislike cinnamon flavor immensely, more evidence needed on sassafras -been a long time since I tried it but I didn't like it then, but I cook with bay all the time)
here's one site about that tree family tree:

and now I just went on to learn it's fairly likely my mild allergy to raw apples is related and possible my severe allergy to all things capsicum could be related. ....but I have't experienced reactions to any of the other things listed, so it could be a load of bollocks/coincidence too
I don't really like bananas, though.... (but lurve kiwis. Pologirl once had a bad reaction to Kiwis though and has never touched them since....
